PORATION.

Application led January 25, 1921.

Kings and State of New York, has inventedV certain new and useful Improvements in Cordage lVrappers, of which the following is a specification. Y y

My invention relates to cordage wrappers and packages and the object of my invention is to provide a wrapper by means of which a hank of rope or cord may be wrapped 1n such a manner as to prevent a single loop or all of the rope from being withdrawn from the package until after the wrapper has been broken or unlocked, A further object is to provide a complete package by means of said wrapper.

A further object is to provide a wrapper that can be made at a low cost and also one that can be folded quickly to inclose the rope and locked quickly and securely about the same.

Referring to the drawings which form a part of this specification, Y

Fig. l is a view of the inner side of a wrapper embodying my invention;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the wrapper as it appears after a portion of the, hank, usually one-half thereof, is secured in the wrapper;

Fig. 3 is a view disclosing the appearance of the package fully wrapped; and

Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 3.

A indicates the body portion of the wrapper which may be constructed of tough flexible paper or other suitable material and preferably formed rectangular in shape as illustrated. A portion o the material is out out to provide an opening B through which the arms CC respectively of theA metal fastener C are passed and bent over against the body portion A of the wrapper as shown in Fig. 2, after enclosing one-half 4of a hank of rope by passing the end A of the wrapper through the opening between the loops of the rope of a complete hank. A piece is also out from the body portion A to provide an opening .D through which the catch E is inserted, the hook portion E engaging the wrapper as illustrated in Fig. 4, and the end -portion E2 projecting under the wrapper to prevent the catch CORDAGE WRAPPEB..

BROOKLYN', NEW YORK, A COR- Serial No. 439,741.

from easily unhooking, Both fastening means C and E are permanently connected to the body portion A by means as illustrated and well known in this art. After the wrapper is fastened as illustrated in Fig. 2, the end A2 of the wrapper is folded over the remaining half of the hank and the catch E is securedto the wrapperthus completing the package.

By leaving the hanks connected by a portion of the rope F, a long rope may be provided by assembling the hanks'in close relation.

It will be observed that the fold G of the Y wrapper is disposed between the loops formed at each end of the hank and therefore when one end of the rope or a loop thereof is pulled longitudinally of the Y wrapper, it contacts the edge of the intermediate fold G, which being supported on both sides by the rope may crushto a certain extent but will not give way and therefore the hank or a part thereof cannot be removed from the wrapper without either unlocking it or tearing-it bodily from the rope. w Y

Having thus described myv invention I claim as' new:

l. A wrapper comprising a sheet of flexible material having two independent. fastening and unfastening means located one at each end thereof, said sheet having openings Vto receive said fastening means located in alignment therewith. Y 2. A wrapper having a metallic means at each end thereof 4whereby'the ends may be fastened to'or unfastened from the body portion of the wrapper. 3. A wrapper having two openings in the body portion thereof and means .in-A

sertable through said openings whereby the ends may be fastened to or unfastened from the body portion ofthe wrapper, the means and the openings being in alignment.

L1. A wrapper having two openings inthe body portion thereof and means insertablev the opposite ends of the wrapper, the fastening means at one end being adapted to bev inserted through the hole nearest thereto whereby a small cylinder is formed, the fastening means at the other end being adapted to be inserted through the hole nearest thereto whereby a larger cylinder is formed which latter cylinder surrounds the small cylinder.

Signed at the vborough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York this 22nd day of January, A. D. 1921.
